How long do leather sofas last?
Leather sofas are renowned for their durability, comfort, and timeless style. Premium full grain aniline leather can last a lifetime when properly cared for and looked after.
Is aniline leather good quality?
From its durability to its luxury hand feel, aniline is oh-so-fine. Let us count the ways we love it…
Aniline leather is naturally beautiful. With the absence of a topcoat, aniline leather retains the hide's natural texture and markings, giving each sofa or chair a one-of-a-kind look.
Aniline leather is incredibly soft. Since they’re made from top-quality hides, aniline leather sofas are luxuriously supple to the touch and gorgeously comfortable to lay on.
Aniline leather gets better over time. Talking of comfort, each hide develops a rich patina over time, looking even more lovely and resisting wear and tear (with regular maintenance) for maximum durability.
Aniline leather is great for every season. You want a sofa that adapts to you all year round. Without a surface coating, aniline leather is breathable and versatile, making it ideal in both hot and cold weather.
Tips to extend the life of your leather
- Clean spills immediately with a soft cloth.
- Use a leather conditioner every 6–12 months.
- Keep the sofa out of direct sunlight and away from radiators.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
